Why do you think Elizabethan plays were performed during the afternoon in an open courtland?
There are at least some contemporary images of the exterior of theatres and one image of the inside of the Swan theatre. There are also archaeological findings (the foundations of the Rose and Globe theatres) as well as contracts for the construction of the Fortune playhouse in 1600.
From all of these sources, we can deduce that the large public playhouses in the Elizabethan era were open to the elements and that their lighting was natural sunlight. Obviously, then, the plays were performed during the day.
In fact Thomas Platter, a Swiss tourist visiting London in 1599 said in his diary that the plays commenced at 2 p.m.
